Spaghetti Carbonara Light

A lower fat and lower calorie version of this classic Italian pasta dish.

Quick and easy pasta dishes are a firm favourite of mine, especially when you have a hungry toddler screaming for dinner! I used to rely on boring jars of tomato pasta sauce but this recipe is worth just a few extra minutes of effort, I promise!

I use a cream substitute (Elmlea Light) to keep the calorie and fat content down but double cream tastes very decadent in this dish if you fancy a treat.

I usually serve this dish with a salad or veg on the side (try this Broad Bean & Pea Salad) but you could also add some peas or green beans to up the vitamin count. Let me know if your family gobble this up as quick as mine!
